At my second inspection. Crusty old dude rocks up and talks only to me and asks if I'm viewing the apartment, then asks if I'm single and gives me this creepy grin and says he'd prefer a single to move into the apartment. Oh and of course he's the owner. Shakes my hand and encourages me to apply. Completely ignores the other attendees (male).
I might've seriously considered this apartment despite the very dated kitchen and bathroom and no fly screens, it's pricey but in a very quiet green location and has a sunlit balcony... But after the above interaction I am definitely not applying wtf
E: I am meant to be cleaning the house but our purritude has other ideas. Purrhaps she has sensed my overall distress. I'll miss this lil sweetie when she leaves on Monday
little nugget on my lap
Ewww! Even with the positives it’s not worth dealing with that. Plus, if he’s really dodgy you don’t know what he might do
Yeah he seems like the kind of guy who lives nearby and might get... too involved in a bad way. He told the REA to send him a report of all the applicants immediately for his review, within earshot of us all. I can't think of any reason why a LL would prefer a single tenant over a couple except that a single person is easier to bully/manipulate. I think I'm going with my gut on this one
Yep. More than that he might have keys and randomly let himself in, place hidden cameras, invite himself over and push boundaries…
He dived to try and create a situation where he could have a massive power differential/access to a single woman. Which is not a safe situation.
And being a single isolated person does make you easier to bully/manipulate.
He seems like a massive perv and a danger
